Our Awesome Little School
TERRY FOX SONG - MIX.mp3Terry Fox song lyrics.jpg
Terry Fox Elementary was officially opened on January 28, 1983 by Rollie & Betty Fox parents of the late Terry Fox. It was an honour for our school to be named after Terry Fox, a courageous and determined young man, who set out to run across Canada to raise awareness about the devastating effects of Cancer. His incredible spirit captured the hearts and minds of all Canadians and people worldwide. His legacy continues through the Terry Fox Foundation which has raised millions of dollars for the hope of one day finding a cure for Cancer.
Our K - 5 school is home to 290 Kindergarten to Grade 5 students. We also house a Strong Start Drop In Centre for pre-school children and their parents. In addition we have Little Hands Pre-School and Hand in Hand Before and After School Care on our school grounds.
We specialize in offering a holistic program that blends academics, service, athletics, the arts and cultural studies with a progressive social emotional learning program. With specialized educators to provide food programs, counseling, learning assistance, indigenous cultural support, physical and emotional regulation support and more, our whole child approach gives children the tools they need to be successful and resilient wherever their journey takes them.
